The Detroit Lions appear to be entering Week 1 against the Chicago Bears on a healthy note. Nearly the entire team practiced in Allen Park on Wednesday, just four days before the opener at Ford Field.
Coach Matt Patricia declared all but two players a full go for Wednesday’s practice during his pre-practice Zoom session with the media.
“We’re ready to go to practice, ready to get going here for the Bears,” Patricia said in his opening statement. “Two guys here, Hunter Bryant and C.J. Moore will probably not doing much in practice here today. Everybody else will be working through.”
That’s an indication that RB D’Andre Swift is back to being a full participant in practices. The rookie RB missed most of training camp with an undisclosed lower body injury.
Bryant is expected to miss at least Week 1 with a hamstring injury. The tight end is the only undrafted rookie to make the Lions 53-man roster this year.
The team is required to release an official injury report later in the week, but Patricia offered no additions to the injury list during his press conference.
